Leap 15.0 , Console login problem

Hi,

I have a very strange problem and i can not find anything for my situation.
The problem is that i can not login as user or root in run level 3. I enter username and when i am prompted
for password , i give it but nothing happens, after 60 sec it is timing out and i am prompted for user name again.
In kde i can login ok. Also in run level 1 i can login as root ok. I am using nvidia drivers from nvidia site compiled for the kernel.

systemd[1]: getty@tty1.service: Service has no hold-off time (RestartSec=0), scheduling restart.

Re: Leap 15.0 , Console login problem

I have the same exact problem after last system upgrade. Prior to that I was running Leap 15 without problem. I have run strace on the service and it seems the terminal stops working. The read system call does not return despite typing on the console:

Same problem after upgrade to kernel 4.12.14-lp150.12.25-default
If I choose from GRUB menu to boot with previous kernel 4.12.14-lp150.12.22-default, everything works perfect.

Also after kernel upgrade I've got issues with NVidia proprietary driver - switching back and forth between tty1 and X-session eventually crashes kwin and it falls back to Xrender for desktop effects and cannot be set to use OpenGL until reboot.
